We've known Shao Kahn will be included in the roster of Mortal Kombat 11 for a while now, but NetherRealm has just released a character trailer devoted to the hammer-wielding villain. As a reminder, he's a pre-order bonus, so you'll have to put your name down if you want him on your side.

How does he look, then? As expected, like a big powerhouse. His skull-shattering moves are typically over the top, and that's before you get to his ridiculous Fatality. We'll let you experience that for yourself.

What do you think of Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat 11? Will you be pre-ordering to get this character? Don't get hammered in the comments below.

Having grown up alongside PlayStation, Stephen has developed a wide knowledge of video games, from AAA blockbusters to the smallest indie gems. With relentless enthusiasm, eclectic taste, and a passion for writing, he’s always on the lookout for the next big thing. He also has the Platinum for The Witness, so there’s that.

I'm sorry, but all I was thinking when I watched this video is how cross-eyed the Shao Kahn dude looked in that mask 😂.I'd be like "Hey Kahn, when you can focus in that thing then we can get down to the butt-kicking!" 🤣🤣

I'll just wait for a complete version, if they don't release a complete version then I'll pass. Tired of this pre order nonsense for content that everyone who bought the game should have access to, and these fighting games are out of control with these fighter season passes, especially Japanese fighting games.This is why fighting games are a joke now.
